Usage Features:
- Power On/Off: Press the power button to turn the device on or off.
- Auto Power Off: To disable or resume auto power off, press and hold the power button for more than 2 seconds. When activated, the indicator will appear, and the device will automatically turn off after 30 minutes.
- Backlight Mode: Press the right-side button to turn the backlight on or off. The backlight automatically turns off after 15 seconds. This button is invalid when the red backlight for alarm is on.
- MAX/MIN/AVG Function: Press the "MAX MIN" button to enter this function. "MAX" will be shown, displaying the maximum value. Repeatedly press the "MAX MIN" button to cycle through MIN/AVG/MAX MIN/MAX functions and update the displayed value. When "MAX MIN" is selected, it displays the current measured value.
- Manual Record (REC): Press the "REC LOG" button to save one data log. "REC" and the log number will appear on the LCD for one second. The log number increases by 1 with each press, up to a maximum of 20 logs. "FULL" appears when the maximum is reached.
- Auto-Recording (LOG): Press and hold the "REC LOG" button for more than 2 seconds to start auto-recording. "LOG" appears on the LCD. If power is insufficient, auto-recording will stop, and the battery indicator will appear. "FULL" appears when the maximum log number (20) is reached. Press and hold the "REC LOG" button again for more than 2 seconds to exit auto-recording.

- SET 5 (CO2 Abc Self-Calibration Mode - Factory Use Only): This setting is for factory calibration and should not be changed by the user.
- SET 6 (CO2 Manual Calibration): Use "MAX MIN" to move the flashing digit, and "R-M" (up) or "REC LOG" (down) to adjust the CO2 value.
- SET 7 (Temperature Calibration): Similar to CO2 manual calibration.
- SET 8 (Humidity Calibration): Similar to CO2 manual calibration. After setting, press the right-side button again to return to measurement mode.
Maintenance Features:
- Battery Low Indication: The battery indicator shows the battery level. When the battery-low indicator appears, the device needs to be charged.

- Cleaning: Use a soft cloth (e.g., glasses cloth) to clean the meter when dirty. Do not use chemicals or other solvents.
- Repair: If the meter malfunctions, it should only be sent to authorized service suppliers or returned to the original factory for maintenance.
- Environmental Caution: Do not operate in environments with flammable gas or humid conditions.
- High Humidity Environment: If the meter is used in a high-humidity environment, place it in a low-humidity environment for 24 hours after use to ensure proper function.
- Product Disposal: The device and its accessories should be collected separately and disposed of correctly to avoid environmental pollution. Do not throw it away directly.
